The board made an order transferring the electric light on the river front from the end of Reed's wharf be- tween King and Prince streets to the Potomac strand at the foot of Prince street, that being considered the more deMirable’ posi tion. The ordinance published in Tue Stan a few days ago appropriating ull fines, penalties and forfeitures over $2,000 per annum to createa sinking fand for the yub- ic school debt was laid on the table at its first introduetion. The proposal to appropriate omplete tho new building of the Infirmary was called up and passed over, and the subject of a revision of the law in relation to the weighing and inspection of bay was discussed, it being determined that the office of weigher and inspector of hay should be continued. A committee was appointed to examine plans for fire escapes to be used in this city. x ATH OF WALTER G. GLOVER. Walter clerk at the establishment of Woodward & 420 South Washington is city.

A peculiar which a cowand a fast- flying locomotive figured prominently bap- | pened on the Metropolitan Branch Baltimore | and Ohio railroud, near Terra Cotta, a few days | ago. ‘The locomotive, the Chicago limited en: | gine 840, piloted by Peter Yaeger, the famous “fast runner” engineer, noted for his thirty- eight minute trip from Baltimore to this city with fire engines at the time of the patent office fire, was on one of hisiast rans.

Aw the second one got off it was caught jn a | cramped position at the end of a standing’ box nd was struck by the locomotive in such ‘ay that its tail was cut off as cleverly as could be within three inches of its body and thrown a hundred feet away, leaving the cow otherwise unhurt. The tail is in the possession of Mr. Alex. Johnson, the B. and O. yardmaster. He has been ruilroading for twenty-five years, but says this was something phenomenal and’ vows will send it with its history to. the world’s fair if he can find a place for it. The owner of the cow has already claimed damages, but whether for the value of the tail or compensation for his trouble in keeping flies off the unfortunate animal during the coming summer is not yet known to the officials of the railroad.

No Occasion for the Issuing of Gold Bonds at Present. The condition of the gold balance was one of the questions considered at yesterday's cabinet meeting, and the conclusion was reached, so it is understood, that existing conditions do not Tequire any change in the present financial policy of the government. It may, therefore, be accepted as settled that no gold bonds will be issued by the present head of the Treasury Department unless so directed by Congress. This conclusion {x subject, of course, to any change in the business situation that may necessitate a change of policy. Secretary Chas. Foster is quoted us saying that it was of a good deal more interest to the New York banks that all government paper shonld be on agold basis | than it was for the Treasury Department. The department would not be hurt even if it failed to give gold when demanded, because the law provides for the payment of coin, which means silver as well as gold, but the New York bauks might be very materially injured if the treas~ ury were forced to take that course. ee DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. A CRECK ON Ligvor “SES. The Commissioners today ordered that here- after all applications for transfers of liquor licenses shall be referred to the assessor for bis report, whether the applicant has ever been engaged in the business in any other part of the District and as to lis reputation. Heretofore it was a simple matter for an ap- icant to get a transfer of hislicense. Licenses have been an article of sale for come time past. A disappointed applicant as soon ax his applica- tion for license was rejected would hunt around | fora more fortunate individual and try to make | adeal. It was generally successful and the re- | jected applicant would invariably get a license | for a place in another part of the city. Under the new order, however, this will not be so easy. WORK UNDER THE PERMIT SYSTEM. ‘The Commissioners have ordered the fol- lowing work under the provisions of the compulsory permit system: Laying and relaying sidewalks—M southwest, south side, fram Ist to South Capitol; V north- jouth side, from 16th to alley in square ; L northwest, both sides, from 13th to 14th; 22d' northwest, both sides, from F to G; @ northwest, north side, 3d to 4th; H_ northwest, north side, 7th to Sth; 11th southwest, both sides, Maryland avenue to Water; 14th north- west, east side, P to.

Caldren, represent- ing the property owners upon C Street south- east between Ist and 2d streets, called upon the Commissioners this morning and preeented a petition urging the lowering of the water main which applies their residences, Capt, Rossel said that all he could give them was his condolence. He knew there were a number of such mains all over the city, but there was no appropriation to pay for lowering them. ‘The water department was placing all laterals on these mains lower than the mains to remedy the existing evil. If an appropriation was obtained from’ Congress to lower these mains the water rents would have to be in- crensed, for the water department was self- supporting. THE PERMIT MODIFIED. President A. A. Thomas of the United States Electric Lighting Cotapany appeared before the Commissioners this afternoon to protest against the permit issued yesterday to his com- pany to supply the Nortliern Liberty market with electric lightin: Mr. Thomas said jected to the clause which reserved one di in the conduit for the | use of the District. It was too broad, and in- eluded all conduits laid by the electric com- pany. Iteould hardly be expected that the | electric light company would allow the use of one duct in the f 8 of conduit for the privilege of laying 750 feet of conduit for the market house. The objectionable | toallow the comp use was amended so as to construct « conduit | with but two ducts, ‘This was done £0 a3 to | prevent the electrie company from laying a | general distributing conduit. A WELL CAVED IN. Superiftendent Hayden of the water depart- ment has reported to Capt. Lusk that the aban- doned well at 24th and U streets northwest bas |caved in, The Commissioners will order that the same be filled up at once. TO KEEP THE GAS LIGHTED. Mr. Mills Dean, chairman of the committee on fireworks of the inaugural ceremonies, requested the Commissioners to keep the g lamps fighted from sunrise to sunset from March 1 to March 6 inclusive. As the schedule will allow of this extra lighting the request will be allowed. BUILDING PERMITS. Building permits were issued today to the following: F. R.

THE CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT. Death Rate Continues to Fall Since the | 4 Bridge Hearing to Be Given, but It is| What Commissioner Mason Has Done in Regard to It. No action has been taken or is likely to be taken by the ‘Treasury Department jother than that siready published to leary out the provisions of the Chinese (exclusion act, otherwise known as the Geary bill. The Treasury Department has | provided facilities under the direction of the | commissioner of internal revenue for Chinese | throughout the United States to register, jand they have until the Sth of May to comply with the law in that re- spect. So far as the department is advised but very few bay iled themselves of the privil- eges afforded by this bili, but the penal pro- vision providing for deportation does not be- come effective until after the Sth of May, and in the language of Commissioner Mason, “we | will not cross that bridge until we reach it.” It is computed at the Treasury Department that there are 110,000 Chinese persons within the borders of the United States, The price per head for the deportation of a Chinese rson from San cisco to China is 35, and the whole amount appropriated by the last Congress for carrying inte effect the Chinese exclusion act amounted to only #100,000, which would be totally in- adequate for the wholesale deportation | of Chinamen in case they did not) comply with the act as regards registration. Even of this $100,000 at the expiration of the | fiscal year only about $40,000 will remain avail- able for deportation expenses. Already €40,000 bas been expended in the payment of special agents on the Canadian frontier and in the pay- ment of the passage of deported Chinamen from San Francisco, Commussioner Mason, speaking of the matter today, said that his duty was to provide every | possible facility for carrying out the registra- tion provisions of the Chinese exclusion act,and this he had done and would continue to do until the 6th of May, the d on which the operation of ” this act ‘as regards registration cases. Further than that he had done nothing, had not issued instruc- tions to bis collectors and as at present advised would not. After the 5th of May the matter would then pass into the hands of the Attorney General and to the courts. sess Sa Sea ALBAUGK'S.
